The Bloc Québécois has introduced Bill C-202, aimed at ensuring full protection for supply management in trade agreements, specifically preventing tariff increases and reductions on dairy, poultry, and eggs. Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet expressed optimism that the bill could pass quickly in the House of Commons, following previous unsuccessful attempts due to Senate opposition. While supporters argue it protects farmers, opponents, including the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, contend it would hinder trade negotiations, with Prime Minister Mark Carney affirming his commitment to protect supply management in future talks.
